Climbing to Misti Volcano 2 days

El Misti Volcano (5822m) haves symmetrical cone of considerable scenic beauty. El Misti Volcano is an active volcano towering over the white city of Arequipa.

Day 01: Arequipa - Base Camp
We will pick you up from your hotel in Arequipa and transport in a private car to start our excursion to Misti volcano . The landscape changes dramatically with increasing altitude due to the different stresses on the plant life. We will camp at 4300 metres. In the night we can observe Arequipa City with the lights of the city in the distance and the lights of the stars overhead, while the light of the camp stove provides a warm cup of tea and a cooked meal. (L,D).

Day 02: Summit of Misti and return to Arequipa
Very early we have a hot energetic breakfast . After breakfast we start the 5 to 6-hour climb to the summit. The top is a natural observatory - in the distance you can see the Chachani and Picchu Picchu volcanoes, the national Reserve of Aguada Blanca, Lake Salinas, the city of Arequipa, small pueblos and of course, the unique and beautiful crater of Misti itself. All the energy you expend climbing Misti is returned to you on the descent. If you wish, you can run, ski or slide down the mountainside, which is comprised mostly of sand which cushions your steps and allows you to stop easily when you need to. We pack up the campsite and then descend for two more hours to the place where our transportation left us the day before. We return to Arequipa. (B,Snack).
